Link roundups are awesome. At least the happy faced chocolate chip and vanilla citrus panettone bread pudding from last week’s Rambling Restaurant thinks so.

This is awesome – London has city farms all over the place. More American cities should do this, especially with abandoned unused spaces.

Here’s how it works: You pledge a bit of money to support a really cool project. They only take your money if they get enough funding. In return, you get to support a great idea AND you get something in return. A piece of artwork, dinner, a shoutout in a music video, whatever small piece of the project you helped get off the ground according to the level of your donation. For example, you could get an adorable set of seed packets like these for pledging $25:

Or get a gorgeous set of screen-printed posters by one of the farmers who’s also an artist by donating $250.

You can give as little as $5 or as much as you want. Everyone wins! I only wish I could have given $1000 for my very own garden picnic. Someday…when I’m a baller…
